Forensic Psychiatry

Forensic psychiatry is a specialized subfield of psychiatry that operates at the intersection of mental health and the legal system. Closely aligned with the discipline of criminology, it involves the application of psychiatric expertise in legal contexts, particularly in the assessment and treatment of individuals involved with the criminal justice system.

Forensic psychiatrists provide critical services such as evaluating an individual’s competency to stand trial, conducting risk assessments, and offering expert testimony in court. They also deliver psychiatric care including psychotherapy and pharmacological treatment to individuals with mental disorders who are involved in criminal proceedings or correctional settings.

This field plays a vital role in supporting both legal decision-making and the rehabilitation of offenders, ensuring that mental health considerations are appropriately integrated into judicial processes.
